"I was an ARP Factory Authorized Service Center in San Francisco during the mid-1970's, and was trained at a factory class in Los Angeles by factory service representative Fred Dodd [Phil Dodds], who played the role of the synth guy in the 1977 film "Close Encounters of the Third Kind". Included are original blue line and blue prints of schematics, factory service notes, my personal notes, advertising brochures and posters, etc. gathered when I had my repair shop in the San Francisco area. Though San Francisco's synth guru John Vierra blew the doors off the competition back then (myself included), I went on the burgeoning field of "Personal Computers" in which I prospered well.
All documentation is in very good to near-mint condition with no missing or unreadable pages. This is my personal collection of service and support documentation from ARP which includes support information for:
* ARP Omni model 2480
* ARP String Synths models 2600-2606, 3620, 2300
* ARP AXXE model 2300
* ARP Pro Soloist model 2701
* ARP Odyssey models 2800, 2810, 2811, 2812, 2813
* ARP Sequencer model 1601
Shipping will be in a 12 x 12 x 6 box weighing about 8 pounds."


In Professor Frink's voice, "Well actually, he means Phil Dodds".
